Station: Thistle_Creek

Station ID: Thistle_Creek [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Volcano:
Collector: Westgate, J. A.
Date visited:
NAD83 latitude: 63.06
NAD83 longitude: -139.32
Default location: No
Location description: The Thistle Creek section is about 100 km south of Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, in the south Klondike goldfields. It consists of a 10 m thick organic-rich silt sequence over gravel on a terrace 25 m above Thistle Creek on the south side of the valley. Coordinates from Westgate and others (2009); datum not provided, assumed to be NAD83. Coordinates for this site in Preece and others (2011), Jensen and others (2011), and Reyes and others (2010) vary slightly. Also known as Eddas Bench.
